The entire healthcare industry, especially primary care management, should start with two words: “"Understanding". The burden of chronic disease management at the primary care level is increasing, and the requirements for primary healthcare institutions and medical staff are also becoming more stringent. In 2012, 62.58% of personnel reported feeling overworked; this figure has now risen to 74.37%. Therefore, in the context of primary care chronic disease management,First, it is essential to consider the actual workload of staff.。

Secondly, another aspect of concern for primary healthcare workers isLifestyle Guidance for Patients with Chronic Diseases.Given that there are approximately 8 million healthcare professionals across China, while the number of patients with chronic diseases is on the order of hundreds of millions, in many casesPatients need to proactively master the skills for chronic disease management.. At the technical level, primary care chronic disease management workers seek to improve their practical skills and awareness of precautions related to treatment and medication administration.

Kangkang Blood Pressure Launches the "Dual-Complete Plan" for Innovative Chronic Disease Management“Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring + Home Remote Blood Pressure Monitoring + Chronic Disease Management Cloud Platform”. At primary healthcare institutions, the 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor, an intelligent wearable device independently developed by Kangkang Blood Pressure, is provided. Hypertensive patients no longer need to queue at large hospitals for ambulatory blood pressure measurement, and medical staff can utilize patients' 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure reports,More Accurate Guidance on Patient Treatment and Medication。

Residents can also take home a home blood pressure monitor on a rental basis to perform self-measurement of blood pressure, encouraging patients to proactively understand their own blood pressure status, with an emphasis on prevention. Meanwhile, data from both smart devices can be shared in real time via the Kangkang Chronic Disease Management Cloud Platform, greatly simplifying chronic disease management at the primary care level.Healthcare professionals can identify patterns in patients’ fluctuating signs and, based on these data, conduct retrospective analytical studies and prospective diagnostic and therapeutic explorations.。

With the support of these data, healthcare professionals can provide more accurate medication guidance and education on daily healthy lifestyles to patients. By leveraging this approach, each healthcare provider can easily manage hundreds of hypertensive patients, significantly enhancing the chronic disease management capabilities of primary care staff.

Regular training and guidance are provided to primary healthcare professionals, which not onlyIt has enhanced the capacity of primary healthcare providers in hypertension prevention and control, and further empowered them with the ability to interpret and apply ambulatory blood pressure monitoring reports.

Traditional methods are no longer sufficient to meet the needs of hypertension prevention and control. The existing healthcare system is ill-suited for chronic disease management, leaving significant gaps in China’s chronic disease management framework. However, Kangkang Blood Pressure’s “Dual-Complete Plan” integrates traditional medical approaches with innovative internet technologies. Leveraging internet platforms, it achieves broad, population-based management and establishes a multi-dimensional “mass prevention and mass treatment” system.
